Cobra Kai‘s Sekai Taikei tournament is just around the corner, but do the students of Miyagi-Do stand a chance of being the best fighters in the world?
In Part 2 of the karate drama’a final season (all five episodes release Friday, Nov. 15 on Netflix, with the “finale event” hitting sometime next year), we take a trip to Barcelona, Spain for the Sekai Taikai, “where Miyagi-Do will face new challenges and old enemies as they fight to become world champions — can they stay united as internal rivalries bubble back to the surface?” But as always, Kreese looms with a fresh batch of baddies who look more nefarious than ever.
“The first thing that you’re going to notice is we’re not in the Valley anymore,” co-creator Hayden Schlossberg said in a statement on Tudum. “It’s a totally different environment. The competitive space is different from previous All Valley tournaments. There’s no crowd watching. This is a karate temple that they’re going to, where the only people in attendance are black belts or karate masters.”
If all of that wasn’t enough, Daniel, Chozen and Amanda unearthed a large box full of secrets from Miyagi’s past. What does that all mean and why did Miyagi hide his past from Daniel? Yep, we have a lot of questions heading into Part 2.
The streamer also released some brand-new photos of the upcoming episodes which you can see below.
Scroll down to see the pics and get some new casting news. Then, hit the comments and tell us all your thoughts and theories.
Lewis Tan (Deadpool v. Wolverine, Mortal Kombat), Patrick Luwis (Rebel Moon) and newcomer Rayna Vallandingham have joined the cast. The trio will first appear in Part 2, and are a part of a competing dojo at the Sekai Taikai. Tan plays Sensei Wolf, Luwis plays a character named Axel Kovacevic and Vallandingham will play Zara Malik. Additional details were not yet released.
2 part season were bad enough, now they upping it to 3, that’s just crazy.
Exactly what I came to say. It’s so dumb.
Love that Netflix is giving out some larger episode orders! It seemed like everything was shrinking down to 6-8 episodes, which is good for some things, but for a comedy I’m glad to see more episodes. When I want to revisit the series, there is actually a decent amount of episodes to rewatch.
I wouldn’t get so happy. They just shrank this down to 3 short seasons mostly and by having it all count as one season they can avoid contract negotiations and get more without paying people more. So sure they all get paid a handful of more episodes but no raises. Same reason the Walking Dead wouldn’t call the last season 12 but part of 11. I don’t find 4 or 5 episode seasons to be thrilling as it’s such a short time to tell stories and you go through the content quickly. They need to get back to more episodes and seasons on hits
The actors get paid per episode not per season so it doesn’t really affect them.
It does affect them, because they are signed for an X amount of seasons, not episodes, and have to renegotiate their salaries after a few seasons.
I’m hoping that Miyagi’s buried secrets would include Julie Pierce, but that’s unlikely to happen.
Can we not, I get they are probalby trying to stretch it out to connect with the up-coming movie in some way, but 3 part final season is crazy. Some of theses “kids” aren’t even kids anymore and pushing 30. Just leave it in 2 parts, or better yet, drop it all at once. This is worse than splitting a final movie into two.
Who cares how old they really are? ALL of them can pass for teens easily.
For what it’s worth, I doubt they’re splitting the filming, just splitting the release. They might already be all done with filming by now, actually. The actors in real life may indeed look far too old to play high schoolers by the time Part 3 drops next year, but they’ll look “younger” in the actual episodes. Relax and just enjoy what we get when we get it?
They finished filming last month.
Ralph himself was in his 30s when karate kid 3 came out…history repeats itself
I’m thrilled about 15, longer episodes, but not happy about 3 parts. Two parts I could live with.
It’s to get you to subscribe at least 3 times instead of once and cancel, their best hope is each time you forget to cancel before the automatic renewal.
At this point, just say it was renewed for an extra season. This feels like nothing more than a money grab to make sure people keep their subscriptions longer.
Part of the appeal was binge watching, and that is fleeting every day
This isn’t the end. Another movie is in the works with Ralph Macchio & Jackie Chan. Hopefully, we’ll get to see cast members from “Cobra Kai” reprise their roles in the movie as well.
Three parts????
Really, I might not even be alive for part 3!
The first two seasons were great.. everything since then has been kinda spinning it’s wheels… hopefully it goes out strong.
I find this show pushes my suspension of disbelief a bit much when watching it. However, I always enjoy it. The life or death stakes and danger these kids are put in by adults (and absence of adults in other kids’ lives) is astonishing. That being said I just enjoy it a lot for some reason. I think it must be the world building. The acting is so over the top and melodramatic but the cast is so enjoyable…I just don’t know. I will always watch the newest episodes in one sitting too. This might be the most excited I am for a new season from any trailer. Seeing everyone united finally even with all the tension is pretty cool. But was Robby in it at all? I guess I need to rewatch.M
